Nice job with the wrap on the power steering tank, very clean. Quick question. I see that your running the ST45 rear brake kit. I was wondering what pads you are using. I have the kit but I am having a hard time finding pads for it. Thanks.

 

Wow, just read through this entire thread and what a build with quality, authentic parts. Great job, sir

 

@ChriZTT: sorry bro can't help you out with that since i'm still running on my first set of pads the car has around 21000 km on the clock :P but as far as i recall StopTech used the same pads as Porsche do on some of there cars!?!?!? but that's just as far as i can recall

@pyshin: thx bro still have some quality parts laying around/hopefully on the way soon.....so keep looking from time to time

 

No problem, other than that Z of yours needs to be driven more! 13,XXX miles is way too low LOL. Your right about Porsche using the same pad.

Here's some reference material that I've gathered through many conversations with a few vendors as I tried to figure it all out. For the ST45 -- 63.100.0609 is the pad part number. I've heard of a few people that use an ST40 pad in the ST45 caliper (might be because the pads for the ST45 are so expensive in comparison) and although the ST40 pad fits, there are some dimensional differences between it and the ST45 pad. Specifically the width of the pad compound.

Here's a visual:

 

Nice to see you're still active with this platform. How hard was it getting the Billion tank on the stock bracket?

 

I know ChriZTT everyone keeps telling me this :P i really have to drive the car more often....hopefully this year!!!!! *fingers crossed*

Hey Kwame what's up how is your car coming along together?!?! really have no clue how hard it'll be to get it installed...hopefully not too hard but i'm planing on making another bracket for the tank so hopefully that would fix that problem

 

some titanium bolts for the intake manifold

 

just build another bracket for the power steering tank




and i was finally able to put on the ING's duck tail wing (sorry for the stock rims )

 

Damn dude, loving the way the INGS+ kit sits with the long nose

 

thx fataLblitz really can't wait to put the Volks back on and see how it looks with those wheels.

 

I really like that bracket. Details?

 

2mm grade 5 titanium ...that's all i can say for now since i did the cutting, grinding and a friend of mine the welding

 

finally had the time to put on the VOLK wheels today and took her for a little spin through the mountains (sorry for the cell phone quality)

 

and the final product powersteering tank installed with the new titanium bracket

 

took a couple of pics a while ago, so here they are

 

what's up everyone...been a while since the last update!
been a bit bored over the xmas holidays, so i ordered some carbon fiber and started wrapping the trunk/hatch plastic covers.

 

i like the progression. looks good. is that ings spoiler authentic or replica? how was the fitment?

 

thanks G4nismo!
all parts are authentic not feeling buying replicas. the fitment was good (as to expect on authentic parts). i had my OEM spoiler removed and the holes welded and the trunk resprayed , so i had to drill new holes into the trunk to mount the new spoiler.....so i'm not 100% sure about that! but other than that it really fits pretty good.

 

since the carbon fiber parts still not done yet (due to no time )
i'll keep you guys hopefully happy with some pics of the other (very expensive) "project" car....my NA Supra. been super busy over the summer time with getting rid of the rust it had, also ordered some Shine Auto Ridox side skirts and installed the jdm OEM rear add ons.



pretty flush fitment for most Supra guys , but i like it!


and the christmas gift i gave to myself this should look/fit the OEM interior so well.

 

looking clean
